Are you risking IRS disqualification, costly penalties, or failed 1031 exchanges due to incomplete compliance with relinquished property rules or qualified intermediary (QI) requirements? The Relinquished Property and Qualified Intermediary Self-Assessment Kit gives you immediate control over every regulatory, procedural, and timing-critical element of a successful tax-deferred exchange. With 224 structured assessment questions across 7 maturity domains, aligned with IRS Section 1031, Treasury Regulations, and industry best practices, you can identify compliance gaps, validate QI selection, and ensure your relinquished property meets eligibility criteria before closing. Left unchecked, procedural errors invalidate exchanges, trigger immediate capital gains tax liabilities, and jeopardise investment returns, this kit eliminates those risks with precision.

How This Helps You
Every day without a formal assessment of your 1031 exchange controls increases the risk of non-compliance, tax liability, and failed deferrals. This kit enables you to proactively audit your exchange strategy before closing. By answering targeted questions, such as “Was the relinquished property held for investment or productive use in a trade or business?” or “Has the QI provided proof of fidelity bond coverage?”, you surface hidden exposures that could invalidate your exchange. You gain confidence that your QI is properly structured, your property qualifies, and your documentation meets IRS scrutiny. The result: sustained tax deferral, reduced audit risk, and stronger client or stakeholder trust. Without this assessment, you risk unexpected capital gains tax, disallowed exchanges, reputational damage, and loss of investor confidence.
